Kathleen Kim’s recent double success as Olympia in HOFFMANN and Zerbinetta in ARIADNE AUF NAXOS at the Met led me to go searching for photos of her in the latter role. I found these images Met photographer Marty Sohl. Above, Kathleen in the Prologue with mezzo-soprano Sarah Connolly as the Composer.
Kathleen struck up a fine and sexy rapport with her handsome Harlekin, baritone Markus Werba.
Zerbinetta eavesdrops as Harlekin tries to cheer Ariadne up with a serenade. Nina Stemme is Ariadne.
If you missed Kathleen’s performances this season, she will reprise Zerbinetta during the 2010-2011 Met season, as well as appearing as Madame Mao in the Met premiere of NIXON IN CHINA by John Adams.
